Synopsis
This book uniquely captures medieval minds through the prism of the legend of Roland and the mysterious castle of St. Goar on the Rhine. The author traces the evolution of the legend from its early traditional form to the towering literary achievements of the medieval era, demonstrating how it came to embody the essence of medieval knighthood and preoccupation with love and honor. Exploring the complex relationship between history and myth, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the legend's different versions, examining its significance within religious and political contexts. The author argues that the legend not only reflects the chivalric values and aspirations of the Middle Ages but also articulates the era's profound spiritual and existential concerns.
